by Bill Davenport June 24, 2011

Austin artist Jennifer Chenoweth, has launched Generousart.org, the latest permutation mixing charity giving, cold cash commerce, online promotion, and art. Here’s the deal: sales from the site’s online gallery are split between the artist (40%), a nonprofit charity of the buyer’s choice (40%), and Generous art itself (20%). An event celebrating the soft launch of the new business will take place Sunday, June 26 from 10am ’til 2 p.m. at Fisterra Studio, 1200 East 2nd Street, Austin. Texas French Bread, Paula’s Turbo Mimosas, and live music by Redd Volkaert are promised.

Great idea! May I steal it and use it for performing artists in the Netherlands?
